Looks like Venus has a lucky charm, Carla Suarez Navaro­ has been knocked out which leaves the path to the final­ clear for Venus.

Also she's drawn in the semis to meet the lady who­ knocked her out of the AO, so she either gets a big­ revenge or, maybe the lady has her measure?

Well lets all enjoy­ acapulco.......miravilloso........paradiso.............­ cancoon?.....eat your heart out!

You'll have to wait a long time idowu. Looking at­ how far back she is and what those in front of her will­ likely do, I'll say she would need to win the next­ three majors at least to achieve that and, can someone­ correct me, I don't think she's ever gone­ beyond the quaters at RG, so that's defo not a­ favourite surface. And if Serena or Elena wins the­ French, the gap will be too much IMHO.

Great run for my champion Venus. I expect you in No 1­ soon.
